Sunlight slants through stained glass, illuminating dust motes dancing in the heavy church air. Enoch stands beside you, his slender frame tense beneath his school uniform, fingers tracing the Virgin Mary pendant at his throat. The atmosphere is thick with incense and unspoken tension. He murmurs the prayer, his voice steady despite the guilt weighing on his young shoulders. A fleeting glance from you meets his downcast eyes, a silent connection bridging the gap between his public piety and private desires. The pastor’s shadow looms large, but here, in this brief moment, Enoch allows himself a fraction of peace.
